Treating stubborn stains
USING STAIN REMOVERS:
To avoid the risk of a fire or explosion:
(
*)  When using the solutions mentioned above, rinse the articles thoroughly before putting
them into the washing machine.
- Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions when using common stain removers. Perspiration, blood, fruit, wine and chocolate stains are generally removed by using detergents
with biologically active ingredients. Other stains however require special treatment beforewashing.
First test on an inconspicuous area of the article and then rinse thoroughly. When applying
stain remover, always start from the outside to avoid forming a border.
After stained fabrics have been washed and then dried in the dryer or ironed, the stains
can no longer be removed.
GRASS: Dab the stain with clear vinegar or 90
percent alcohol* (if the material permits), rinse
out and wash.
BALLPOINT PEN - FELT TIP: Dab the stain with
paper towels to absorb as much ink as
possible. Put a white, clean cloth under the
stain and then dab it with another cloth. For
synthetics, the second cloth should be
moistened with clear vinegar; for other fibres
with 90 percent alcohol* (in so far as the
material allows).
RUST: Sprinkle light stains with salt. Sprinkle
the salt with lemon juice and let work overnight.
Next day, rinse thoroughly and wash. For larger
stains, use a special rust remover, paying
especial attention to the manufacturer's
instructions.
CHEWING GUM: Cool down with an ice cube.
As soon as it is hard enough, remove using
your fingernails. Remove the border that
remains using a grease remover*.
AUTOMOBILE GREASE - TAR: Use spot
remover*. If none is available, smear the stain
with some fresh butter, let work and then dab
with oil of turpentine*.
PAINT: Do not allow paint stains to dry;
immediately treat with the solvent indicated on the
paint can (water, turpentine*, light petrol*). Soap
and rinse out.
CANDLE WAX: Scrape off most of the stain.
Then put paper towels on both sides of the item
and melt the remaining wax using an iron.MAKE-UP: Lay the side of the material with the
stain on a piece of paper towel and moisten the
other side of the article with 90 percent
alcohol* insofar as the item permits and the
stain is not greasy. Otherwise, use a grease
solvent (e.g. trichloroethylene*).
COFFEE - TEA:
- On white cottons: dab the stain with hydrogen
peroxide* and afterwards wash as usual.
- On coloured cottons: dab the stain with 
a vinegar solution (2 tablespoons of clear
vinegar in ¼ litre of water) and afterwards
wash as usual.
- On woollens: dab the stain with a mixture of
equal parts of alcohol* and clear vinegar and
afterwards wash the article.
CHOCOLATE - FRUIT - FRUIT JUICE - WINE:
Dab the stain with a vinegar solution 
(2 tablespoons of clear vinegar in ¼ litre of
water). Rinse thoroughly and wash as usual.
GREASE: Immediately sprinkle talcum powder
on the material. Let dry and gently brush off the
talcum powder. Then dab with a grease solvent,
such as gasoline*. Rinse out and wash as usual
BLOOD: Immerse the stained item in cold salt
water as quickly as possible; afterwards wash
as usual.
KETCHUP - TOMATO SAUCE: Prepare 
a solution of 50% glycerine and 50% warm
water. Soak the item for an hour and afterwards
wash as usual.

To prepare the laundry
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paperclips,
needles, nails) may damage laundry items
or washing machine components (the drum
for example).
• Empty the pockets of the laundry items.
• Brush sand out of pockets and 
cuffs/turn-ups.
• Close zippers, button covers.
• Remove curtain rollers or tie up in 
a net/bag.• In a net/cushion cover, wash:
-  Delicate items e.g. tights, curtains,
-  Small laundry items, e.g. socks or
handkerchiefs
-  Underwired bras (underwires may
become detached during washing and
cause damage). )
•  Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles,
e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or
sweatshirts, should be turned inside out.
 
						

							13
Loading the wash
Danger of explosion!
If laundry treated with cleaning agents
containing solvents, e.g. stain removers or
benzene, is loaded into the washing
machine, an explosion may result.
Thoroughly rinse out laundry items in
advance by hand.
Foreign objects in the washing drum
may damage laundry. Check the drum
for foreign objects before putting in the
laundry.
Opening the washing machine
• Lift handle to open.
• Press button to open the drum lid.• Unfold pre-sorted laundry items and
loosely load into the washing drum. Mix
large and small items.
Laundry items of different sizes distribute
themselves better during the spin cycle.
Do not exceed suggested loads (see also
PROGRAMME CHART). Overfilling reduces
washing efficiency and promotes creasing.
Water and energy consumption by the
washing machine is automatically reduced
for smaller loads.
• Close drum lid.
Do not wedge laundry items between the
drum and the drum lid.
 Ensure that the drum lid is properly
closed.

the water can be found from the water utility
company.
-  The size of the load.
-  The degree of soiling. 
-  The specifications of the detergent
manufacturer.
Put liquid detergent in the appropriate

Safety features
Lid opening safeguards:
After the programme starts, the appliance lid
is locked.
After the programme ends or during ”Rinse
Stop”, the lid is unlocked.
Depending upon the model: Depending upon
the model, if a ”Delayed Start” was
programmed, the lid remains unlocked
during the entire waiting period before the
start of the programme.
If the lid is to be opened during the
programme, quickly push the ”Start” - button
and wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes until
the lid safety unlocks.
In order to avoid scalding, the lid remains
locked until the wash water has cooled
down somewhat. 
Water safeguards:
During operation, the constant water level
control prevents possible overflows.
Spin safeguards:
The washing machine is equipped with 
a safety feature that can reduce the spin
speed if imbalanced loading occurs.
In this case, the laundry may be insufficiently
spun dry. Evenly distribute the laundry in the
drum and programme a new spin cycle.
Safeguards against excess
foaming:
Too much foam may be produced in your
washing machine during spinning.
In this case, the spinning is stopped and the
machine is drained.
The programme continues. The spin speed is
adjusted and an additional rinse cycle is
performed.
